Nada a ver com o projecto da 4AD dos anos 80, embora o nome venha obviamente do nome deles. Este é um projecto de reconstrução da música dos Coil. Digo reconstrução porque não se trata de versões, mas de transformar a música e adaptá-la para um outro parâmetro. Mas melhor explica o mentor do projecto, Stéphane Grégoire, em http://www.thedarkageoflove.com/:
"I got my inspiration from the project This Mortal Coil, started in the eighties by the English label 4AD. Its label manager had then grouped some of its own artists together in order to play some standards of rock and pop music. Most of those who participated in this work hardly knew Coil. My purpose wasn't to go towards those artists who had a conscious connection with the music of the group, let alone musicians who claimed to be the heirs to this seminal work. My aim was to play with the discovery and take Coil's pieces towards new interpretations, rid of all influences.The respect and the admiration that I have for Coil's work led me to surround myself with talented artists also admired for their brilliant writing. I needed strong personalities who would show a maybe unconscious will to put all their soul, with great humility and maturity, in their participation. The interpretation of Bonnie Prince Billy being certainly the most poignant testimony."
Nomes que se associaram ao projecto: Louis Warynski (Chapelier Fou), David Donatien, Yann Tiersen, Stéphane Grégoire, Matt Elliott, Christine Ott, Roel Van Camp (DAAU), Yael Naim.
Que me lembre, nunca ouvi os Coil. Mas a música deste disco dispensa comparações e referentes.
Não encontro verdadeiramente comparações para esta música pop de câmara, atmosférica, sentida e solene. Ouçam-no.
